I start by fully admitting I hate characters that are uber optimized. Yes everyone is allowed to play any way they want, but I dislike when players do pure character optimization for combat. I find it very one dimensional and it turns DnD for a ROLE Playing Game to a combat board game. If that...

I paint them yellow, put weird glasses on them, and have them talk in a weird language that almost sounds like you can understand it.

Did they give any explanation for missing their first two planned release dates?

Agree totally. Personally I find it silly that game designers would even try to make such a rule.

The announcement was made in January 2018, it started with a release date of GenCon. Without any real explanation that date was quietly forgotten and a late 2018 date (I believe November correct me if I am wrong) was given. Now I do some digging and we have this: "We are pleased to find The...

I dislike players like the half orc barbarian player. He creates a character with huge holes, ie his weak mental abilities, and has no problem letting the Face cover for him when dealing with NPCs but he doesn't want to ever be subject to the negatives. In my opinion you must force the...

I had a friend back in grade school that had the Traveller RPG. The one thing I remember is how freaking old you felt you had to make your character for him to have skills and that once character creation was done you gained new skills at a very slow pace that also made your character very old...

The main point being that no race is any more necessary or unnecessary or interesting or boring than any other. It all depends on what the DM wants to create and mold his campaign around.

Do we really need humans? They see so boring and cliche to me. :roll:

I assume the dragon is the whole point of the dungeon and everything is is your typical computer game fodder for xp right? Is there some reason they have to kill all the fodder? The party was careful and smart and they avoided the unnecessary encounters. Every encounter they avoided like this...

What you said makes sense for anything but a cantrip in my opinion. You can endlessly cast the cantrip and keep inflicting damage. Sure you only cast Shill once but you have to roll to hit to do any damage. So is there a difference between casting Produce Flame over and over again and rolling to...

The problem is that Christianity is such a huge part of European and Middle Eastern history that I seriously doubt post Roman Europe would look anything like it did historically. You are pulling out the central thread of history from that time.

Straight out of the MM? No, too many players instantly know what even rare monsters are. If I want to show a picture I do a little online searching and it is pretty easy to find some pinterest drawings out there that work for most monsters. Also for some monsters there are much better pictures...

Just to address one portion of this. If someone is "aiding" another to give them advantage on their check then that person will also be subject to the consequences if the person fails the check. Aiding the rogue while he disarms the trap? Guess what if he fails then you both are hit by the...

Why is shillelagh the only damaging cantrip (unless I missed others) that does not scale at all when you level. I ask because I love the spell but it is really becomes pointless quickly as you level while other cantrips are still viable if not the optimal choice in a round. If you were to add...

So you feel that Eberron was too different from standard DnD to remain the default setting or did 4E do too much harm to the setting? To me FR is both very generic and filled with way too much of two things. The first is just plain crap with all the very bad history used to explain and justify...

The same can be said for FR which has more pre 5E material than all of those settings combined. So why do we need more?

Are you suggesting that WOTC cannot create a financially successful product without leaning heavy on nostalgia and tugging at the heart strings of uber fans?

Do not want to start a political argument. Just a laughing pass at the "your fired" comment by a game designer that made huge assumptions about a very large portion of his customer base. Well I want to fire Wizards in return. Not for political reasons or any other stupid social cause junk. My...

You are misunderstanding what low charisma is or you are mistaking someone doing some sort of staged interview in your example of a charming sports star. Your example also poops all over players who make balanced characters. If you let a player role play around blatant holes in their min maxed...
